Displacement&Distance

Displacement refers to

• A change in position over time.

• A change in position

• An overall change in position

• The total amount of ground covered by an object.

Negative displacement means

• The object ended up behind the initial position

• The object ended up in front of the initial position.

• The object lost speed.

• The object gained speed.
